What's wrong with this picture?

Adobe Stock is not a gallery. "Artistic effect" is desirable but only in otherwise perfect photos.

The majority of your image is out of focus.  Blurry images won't sell.

Hi @Aled5FEC 

A leaf is in the way across the frog's face that is out of focus. You should either have it in focus, or shoot at an angle to avoid it. Too much of the frog is out of focus. You should have tried to get the entire frog in focus, or zoom in on its face if that;s what you wanted, but all your subject must be in focus. An item cannot be subject and background at the same time. The other issues are covered.

Do the reviewers not understand camouflage? 

By @Aled5FEC

I have no idea if the moderators understand camouflage, but they have a sense for colour noise:

and they know about chromatic aberration:

Both are errors that can be worked on, especially when shooting RAW.

I don't retouch my photos at all.

By @Aled5FEC

There is probably no photographer who does not do some retouching work. It's not that we absolutely want to photoshop Trotsky out of the picture, but one or the other dust particle, denoising and sharpening, dodge and burn, and getting rid of chromatic aberration are quite noble editing tasks.

Zoom in to 100% (which is what Moderators do when analyzing an image), and the flaws will be evident. Focus on the eye isn't sharp enough; stopping down the lens would have brought more of the frog into focus; there is significant noise in the dark areas; a tighter crop might be warranted; there are spots that appear to be sensor dust or lens dirt.
